tions, as well as regarding the means of social communication. Therefore,<br />

we should pay more attention to the professional training of journalists in<br />

terms of bioethics, so that those who are involved in this sort of journalism<br />

can really perform their services professionally, giving bioethics that<br />

position which belongs to it. Also the skill in using technological advances<br />

in the field of media communication will greatly help bioethicists to bring<br />

closer scientific development of bioethics to the wider media audience.<br />

ARE WE IN NEED<br />

OF INTERCULTURAL CLIMATE ETHICS?<br />

Human-caused climate change has seen an incredible rise of attention<br />

in public opinion and daily politics due to the urgency of the issue. In this<br />

interdisciplinary field of study different sciences prove not only the reality<br />

of climate change but also give mitigation options. Ecologically oriented<br />

economics lists costs of climate change and proposes systems to manage<br />

mitigation. However, it is up to ethics to come up with norms of what to<br />

do and why to do so. In an ever more globalised world ethical norms need<br />

to be globally acceptable. This is especially the case with climate change<br />

ethics where causers and victims face each other on an incredibly high<br />

level of disparity – certainly one of the reasons for the Copenhagen failure.<br />

Yet there are hardly any intercultural considerations regarding climate<br />

change ethics at all. Therefore I want to argue why we need an intercultural<br />

dimension in climate change ethics and point out some of the major practical<br />

obstacles for achieving it.<br />

POSTOJI LI POTREBA<br />

ZA INTERKULTURALNOM ETIKOM KLIME?<br />

Klimatske promjene koje su uzrokovali ljudi dobivaju sve veću pažnju<br />

javnosti i dnevne politike uslijed urgentnosti toga pitanja. U ovome interdisciplinarnom<br />

području istraživanja, znanost dokazuje ne samo stvarnost<br />
